THE CIVIC THEATRE. “LET’S GO NATIVE.” “Let Go Native” is the maddest, jollies, wildest and most delicious piece of nonsense that has ever come from the Hollywood studios. It’s a sheer riot of mirth from beginning to end. It’s something oxtraordindry, a type of picture all on its own, something that falls into no known category. The opening title describes it as a “musical force,” but that only gives a faint idea of what a riot of mirth it is. Once in a while a picturecomes along which really makes you ache with laughter. “ Let's Go Native” is one of those rare pictures. And what a cast! There’s Jack Oakie, Jeanette Ala*'Donald. James Hall, Eugene Pallette, Kay Erancis. William Austin, Skeets Gallagher, and a whole lot more. “Let’s Go Native” is an exploitation picture served up to you hot, juicy and garnished. To be shown at the Civic Theatre on Wednesday afternoon and evening and on Thursday evening. LADIES’ GOLF. The following is the draw for a medal match to be played to-day for a trophy
